Resolution 1-11-F
Resolution to Support the Tobacco Ban Under the Stipulation That the
Two Year Requirement to Live on Campus is Eliminated at Western
Kentucky University
PURPOSE:
For the Student Government Association of Western Kentucky University to
support the Tobacco Ban on campus only when the requirement to live on
campus for two years is eliminated.
WHEREAS:
It is unfair to impose a tobacco ban when students are required to live on
campus for two years, and
WHEREAS:
Imposing a tobacco ban while requiring students to live on campus is unrealistic,
and
WHEREAS:
Before a campus wide tobacco ban goes into effect, the current limitations for
using tobacco, such as smoking 30 feet from an entrance need to be better
enforced, and
WHEREAS:
Should the campus wide tobacco ban pass, all ash trays would need to be
removed from campus, and
WHEREAS:
It is the responsibility of the Student Government Association of Western
Kentucky University to respond to the students’ voice.
THEREFORE: Be it resolved that the Student Government Association of Western Kentucky
University support the Tobacco Ban on campus only when the requirement to
live on campus for two years is eliminated.
